Hewas writing a book, Management andLeadership Changes for the New Economy.I keep looking for it at Barnes & Noble,but I suspect that Ed’s new grandson,Erawan, takes time away from hiswriting.

His five childrenand 12 grandchildren gave him a threewheeledmotor scooter, which Maureeninsists on calling his “tricycle” while hiskids insist he wear a helmet.

I learned thatthe Schulzes bought their first housejust a few miles from my new residencein Burnt Hills, N.Y. At the time, Garywas a zone manager for Sears, havingstarted with the company right afterschool. After having to explain whereI lived to family, friends, and clients, itwas good to find someone who knewwhere I was.Gary expressed something I hearfrequently: a desire to return to theCollege “one last time, see all thechanges, and revisit old haunts.”The first fellow freshman I met atLafayette was Don Ohnegian. He and Iformed the “Big 10,” which could bestbe described as an “anti-Calumet specialinterest group.” Meeting at the oldpower plant near Jenks Hall, we hatchedelaborate midnight schemes, whichcame to naught. Don joined Delta TauDelta, played football at guard, graduatedwith a bachelor’s in government andlaw, served his Army time, finishedRutgers School of Law, and finallymarried Betsy. (She was all he talkedabout when I first met him.) Theyhave three children, Debra OhnegianBennett ’90, Scott (Amherst, 1992),and Peter ’94, who served as Lafayette’sstrength coach after graduation.Sadly, Don succumbed to cancerDec. 13, 2010, at his home in Ramsey,N.J. As I lived in Ramsey when hebecame ill, I visited him. He hadcontinued practicing law and was activein town government and county politics.Since both of Don’s sons playedfootball, the family established a scholarship,the Donald C.
